I finally got around to clicking on Lisa's pages and I LIKE 'EM, but I've
always like new off-the-wall stuff and enjoy making it from time to time.
I'm sure I'll purchase the new book(s) coming out on this medium. They've
GOT TO BE better than the likely new flood of $12 "Keep your bonsai fit" ,
or the like, books!!
I went to the Takagi competition pages to see if I noted her name in any of
the last 9 competition "mentionables" but I did not. I did, however, see
quite a few pot shapes that might also lend them to this little corner of
the bonsai world.
I was again suprised at the wording at the top of the page where they ask
for ( "to promote the spread of bonsai") pots made in the modern sense
which will break up the conventional bonsai pots, and thusly help change the
image of bonsai.
So, it seems Mr. Takagi would like to change, at least some, of the images
of bonsai?
Pretty interesting....I'm intrigued.

P.S. On Lisa's pages, I loved the stance of the pot , second from right, in
the gallery. :)

I've long appreciated Lisa's mode of bonsai practice and profession. She's
not bad for bonsai, mostly because of "her" and not necessarily because of
how she compares to the Suzukis and Miyatas of the world. She's not trying
to be something she's not. Neither are her works.


Some influential publishers are giving the chick a chance to promote her
idea of bonsai and improve their sales of bonsai publications. Not only
Bonsai Kindai Shuppan but Kodansha is publishing these images-- and Kodansha
has placed THIS book at the top of its spring marketing for books of the
category (including a reprinting of _Classic Bonsai of Japan_).

The "pop bonsai" are eye-catching. They can be engaging due to the
planting. IMO, the 4th planting (moving from left-to-right) on Lisa's
gallery is intriguing:

A display of "pop bonsai" & an individual kusa planting have been noted at
the prestigous Gafuten:
